George Sodini's blog tells of years of rejection by women before gym shooting
By Toby Harnden in Washington
George Sodini, an unhappy loner whose rambling website postings indicated he felt spurned by women burst into a female aerobics class, turned the lights off and opened fire, killing three and injuring nine.
Sodini, 48, fired as many as 52 shots into a "Latin impact" dance class at the LA Fitness gym outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania before committing suicide. He walked in, placed a duffel bag on the ground and paused for a few moments before pulling two guns out.
A web page he apparently created contained a diary chronicling years of rejection by women and an earlier plan for an outrage at the gym which he said he "chickened out" of. Neighbours described him as strange and anti-social............
(p.s. neighbours AND FRIENDS TOO for that matter would describe ME as strange and anti-social too. i do NOT own a gun nor will i ever own a gun. i do NOT want to kill anyone. i do NOT want t0 hurt anyone. being strange and/or anti-social isn't necessarily a path to being a murderer is my point)
AP, other news outlets omit killer’s racist diary rants
George Sodini, the man who took the lives of four women, and then his own, at a Pittsburgh-area fitness club Wednesday, leaves behind a long history of right-wing anti-government militancy.
In political rants on the Internet, going back to the early days of the Web, Sodini showed a consistently anti-government attitude. As first reported by Greg Mitchell at his Huffington Post blog, in the mid-1990s Sodini posted to a newsgroup titled misc.activism.militia, where right-wing libertarians and survivalists compared notes on the state of politics, and made plans for upending the “socialist” policies of the Clinton White House. Sodini appeared to support a violent overthrow of the US government in order to return the country to its “Constitutional order.”
“I am convinced that more drastic action is required to bring the country back to the Constitutional order that it was 200 years ago,” Sodini wrote at the newsgroup. “I don’t think any group of political leaders will achieve this for us.”................
In diary, shooting suspect shares despair, intent to killBy Lateef Mungin
CNN) -- He felt lonely, said he hadn't had a girlfriend since 1984. He said his father didn't love him. And he detailed plans to kill young women.
George Sodini, the 48-year-old man police blame for killing three women and wounding 10 others in a suburban Pittsburgh gym, left behind an online diary that is as shocking in places as it is profane in others.
It offers a rare glimpse into the mind of a suspected killer who police say walked into an aerobics class, turned off the lights and fired more than 50 rounds from multiple handguns.
"Why do this?? To young girls? Just read below. I kept a running log that includes my thoughts and actions after I saw this project was going to drag on," the diary begins. Watch how Sodini may have targeted a woman »
It seems almost formatted, like a résumé, with Sodini's date of birth and date of death. The date of death is listed as Tuesday, the day of the shootings at an LA Fitness center outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Read an edited version of the diary (PDF)...............

I didn't click on the links. I don't want to know how he thinks. It does not matter. He is just sick and the reasoning behind it to me is irrelevant. If the people around him all of these years could not see the warning signs or if they did and choose to ignore it, shame on them for not acting on those signs.
Shame on our society for not having a safety net for folks like him so that they can be identified, caught and brought in for serious treatment BEFORE something like this happens.
i sure as hell didn't read the whole stories. i didn't need to and i didn't want to
